Spiders?

Sunday night the spiders arrived. Wrist hurt as it usually does when I went to sleep, but when I awoke I had spiders in my wrist.

When my hand is extended the swelling is pretty much flat.

But when I clench my fist the lump pops up. The one behind the wrist doesn’t change at all.

The big one spread in two stages. First it was right next to the wrist. Then another formed futher down my hand. Over the day they merged. The one behind the wrist showed up last. I was driving around a lot that day visiting docs and wot not, so that’s probably what made it worse. Haven’t done much since then however.

It aches a bit, only hurts when I extend my fingers or hold a glass etc. Hurts more the futher it extends. I feel a little twinge when I poke at it.

It feels like there is something in there – not fluid like, more slack muscle like. When fingers are extended it gets really hard like a clenched muscle (hurts a lot ot poke it then).

So is it spiders? or something else?
